Chapter 342 (1/2)
No film can be completely useless.
What's more, since the original ”sleeping with the enemy” can earn more than $100 million in North American box office, there must be some elements that can arouse the audience's interest.
After the public relations between Denise and fox, when the film was released on June 15, the mainstream media commented on the film, either favoring the performance of Michelle Pfeiffer, or praising the soundtrack of the film, or exploring the film's deeper revelation and accusation of domestic violence.
In a word, they are mainly positive.
When the comprehensive media score statistics came out, the score of ”sleeping with the enemy” was 6.7, which was even higher than the 6.4 of ”supreme detective” in the same period, and it was far higher than the low score of less than 5 estimated by the distribution team according to the feedback from the preview before the release of the film.
In addition, ”sleeping with the enemy” is the first of 10 foreign cooperation films of danielis entertainment, which has been concerned by the media and fans for a long time, and the popularity foundation has been laid before the film started shooting. In the end, sleeping with the enemy won $18.86 million at the box office three days after the first weekend of the painting, with 1719 screens.
In three days, the average number of museums exceeded ten thousand, making it one of the best-selling films in one fell swoop.
In contrast, the box office of Disney's ”supreme detective” was $22.54 million in the first three days, which was more than that of ”sleeping with the enemy”, but the number of screens of the film reached 2332, and the average box office of the three days on the weekend was not as good as that of ”sleeping with the enemy”.
The three-day painting cost 18.86 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the data of 19.76 million US dollars in the first seven days of ghost.
According to the weekend equivalent to 60% to 70% of the box office of the first week, sleeping with the enemy is expected to reach US $27 million to US $30 million in the first week. Even though sleeping with the enemy can not get out of the beautiful long-term like ghost because of word-of-mouth, theme and audience, as long as the next week's decline does not exceed 30%, the total box office of sleeping with the enemy in North America will hit US $100 million It's quite easy to talk.
What's more, even if it can't break 100 million yuan, compared with the total production cost of sleeping with the enemy and the publicity budget of 7 million US dollars, even if fox only accounts for half of the investment share, with 10% of the distribution Commission, the return on investment of this film can easily exceed that of ”die hard 2” on June 29.
Unlike sleeping with the enemy, which costs a total of 22 million dollars in production and publicity, Bruce Willis's die hard 2 costs 70 million dollars in production alone. Taking into account the huge local and overseas publicity budget, the global box office of the film needs to reach at least three times the production cost, that is, 210 million US dollars, in order to make ends meet.
Simon's memory, ”die hard 2” global box office is roughly more than 200 million level.
In the new week, Simon flew to the east coast on Monday, June 18, in order to guest star in Madonna's concert on Saturday.
Originally last year decided to relax for a year, after all, because there are always too many things at hand, Simon simply took this guest as a relaxation. After his guest appearance, Simon will fly to Melbourne to follow up the shooting of Batman: the dark knight.
During this time, Simon and Madonna's team have maintained a very close communication.
Madonna just sold her live rights to the concert for 6 million yuan, which is equivalent to five times of her ticket revenue for each concert at Brenda berry arena and 10% of the total ticket revenue for this round of concerts. In order to achieve the best stage effect and make all partners feel value for money, she forced Denise entertainment to make two free movie guest appearances. After that, Madonna got two new songs from Simon.
Of course, it was all her own.
If Simon doesn't want to, it's impossible to get a song from him.
However, Madonna's debut time is not too long after all, and there are not many songs suitable for live guitar playing. Although Simon took the guest appearance as a rest, he didn't want to go on and off in a mediocre way, so he promised.
Simon's guest appearance did not mention the cost of playing, but it involved two new songs. Besides, Madonna's previous song ”bad romance”, which Madonna plans to cover to her next album, should be divided into two parts. Of course, Simon doesn't have to worry about that.
Madonna ended her tour in Toronto on June 17. Without Simon's participation, Madonna moved to New York. She only needed to do proper rehearsals to get familiar with the scenes. However, with Simon's participation, except for the night concert that started on June 20, all the time during the day was spent rehearsing the three songs that Simon participated in.
Considering that the live income from a concert is equivalent to one tenth of the total box office income of her 60 tours, Madonna is also energetic.
Busy, time soon came to Friday again.
The box office data for the whole week from June 15 to June 21 are also officially released.
Disney's ”supreme detective” finally won the box office title this week with $34.74 million.The box office data of sleeping with the enemy, which started the same week, was $27.62 million in the first seven days of the week, ranking second. Such box office data has obviously exceeded the initial expectation of the distribution team. It is expected that after next week, the film will be able to recover all the production and distribution costs by relying on the North American box office, and then only wait for profits.
Although both of the summer films related to danielis entertainment have not won the box office title once a week, the third most popular film is ghost, which is even more eye-catching than sleeping with the enemy.
In the third week of its release, after a substantial increase in the number of screening screens, ”ghost is still alive” fell only 12% compared with last week, and the box office closed for another $18.01 million a week. In three weeks, the fantasy love movie, which started less than expected, grossed $58.33 million.
Denise entertainment has started to make a profit.
Moreover, the nearly flat box office curve for three consecutive weeks indicates that the total box office of ghost is not likely to stop at about $100 million in North America. It is generally predicted in the industry that the North American box office of ghost will at least reach the same level as that of pretty girl.
Hollywood originally thought that danilisi's entertainment strength has always been horror movies. In recent years, the series of ”death is coming”, ”Butterfly Effect” and ”scream” are really too famous. It can be said that, in addition to the unexpected ”Lola Run”, Simon westrow started mainly on horror movies.
Looking back at this time, we find that danelis entertainment has created three classic love movies that can be recorded in Hollywood film history: when Harry meets Sally, pretty girl and ghost.
At the end of last year, the success of ”Batman: the moment of war” proved that Simon westero has more infinite potential in improvising action movies.
With the blockbuster art films produced by gaomen pictures, it's obvious that danilisi entertainment has no shortcomings at all.
Although the box office decline of 41% in the third week was significantly narrowed compared with that of last week, only 26% this week, the box office of comprehensive memory, which started to suppress ghost, has slipped to the fourth place on the list, with only $15.74 million and a total of $72.14 million.
According to this box office trend, the total box office of full memory in North America is expected to be only about 120 million US dollars.
Warner Bros., No. 5, produced the crime thriller presumption of innocence starring Harrison Ford, which also gave an unexpected box office trend. Although the opening was not high, the next week saw only a slight drop of 13% to close at US $10.17 million, and the total box office is expected to reach more than US $50 million.
In addition, in the new week, two new films will be released in North American Theaters, namely, Eddie Murphy's ”48 hours in the sky” and Steven Spielberg's fantasy horror comedy ”little monster 2”.
